Enjoyable video. I just looked up the adapter on Amazon and it looks like a reasonable $159. Currently I have a PHEV, so don't need one of these (yet). But the Ioniq 5 looks like a great car that maybe I'll get next :-) Thanks !
8kw is about 32-34amps. Most of these Tesla wall connectors/ destination charger can charge at 48 amps which is just under 12,000 watts or 12kw. But most business that installed them will install 2 of them on a single circuit and will limit each one to about 6-8kws /32ish amps.
Your vehicle has to be able to support 48amps AC charging. I know the Chevy Bolt can leech 11kw AC from Tesla chargers, which is pretty cool. Could full a battery from dead In 6hrs.
How does an EV “pull power” higher than available? That’s possible. Seeking an adapter equal to highest amp possible just allows a charging station capable of that high amps to discharge when the EV accepts it.
Tesla Superchargers don't "speak the same language" as CCS here in North America at least as of yet so even if there was a Tesla to CCS adapter the CCS vehicle couldn't initiate charging because Tesla's communication protocol is proprietary. Tesla does make a CCS to Tesla but only works because Tesla's can talk to CCS chargers because the CCS standard is open source or at least accessible.
@@PluggingRevolution I have a 40 amp level 2 charger at home and it kept faulting for short circuit. Car was pulling 45 amps, reduced it and now it pulls 38-40 while AC charging.
You are supposed to charge while the car is off. When disconnecting, you are supposed to use you key to unlock two times, then it will allow you to disconnect.
Depending on the business type and power supply, 208V @ 40A would probably make more sense pulling from a 3ph source. You typically see 32, 40, or 48A options and you wouldn't be getting more than 32 on a 32A configured EVSE and I would expect more from a 40A 240V source.

Thank you for the info

have to be careful with those tesla chargers ,,, some are over the rating for the ioniq 5/6 etc ,, those 14 kws ones wont be nice to those cars
I would be careful - if the car is attempting to pull 48 Amps on a 40 Amp appliance- you could melt it like a fuse overdrawing power.
Yes I agree. That's why at least a 48 amp or above adapter is safe to use.

Is there a Tesla to CCS adaptor?

You can go into the cars settings and reduce how much current it pulls. It's under EV on the menu.
Thank you for the info. I will check that out.

That's good to know. I am going to test it out. Thank you.

So anyone can just unplug the tesla plug from the adaptor? Yikes
wow that charging rate was low for some reason
8.1 kW (8100W) @ 240v is roughly 34A. What output did you expect at this location? Were you expecting more?
This is what I was expecting. Although the IONIQ 5 can up to 10.9 kw on a level 2 charger that can deliver 48A or more.
